Episode notes

Stan douglas has a photo called stranded that reminds me of this moment, even though there are no shirtless guys in it. And you could feel the disappointment when the lights came back on. I tried to ask stan douglas if setting his scenes from the black out in the future had something to do our present moment. Is just maybe to focus on the future is perhaps like a safe spaceor as the ture at large freaks out about yukow, fact and fiction coming together?

Our New ToE series on the battle between the real and the fake begins with a text alert sent out to everyone in Hawaii on a balmy Saturday morning. We also hear from the man who has written the text alert that will go out to all New Yorkers in the event of a real emergency. Photographer Stan Douglas shows us how to reconstruct a future that makes sense, and your host turns to fellow podcaster Jody Avirgan for advice on how to own the “real-ish” podcast genre. Plus the little boy who cried wolf meets the Emperor with no clothes!
